Description
A number zero haircut is the shortest possible haircut available with clippers. It means that the clipper guard used is 0, which cuts the hair to 1/16 of an inch or 1.5mm. The number zero haircut is often used by men who prefer a very short, low-maintenance hairstyle.
It is important to note that a number zero haircut is not the same as a bald head. While a bald head is completely shaved, a number zero haircut still leaves a very short layer of hair on the scalp.
How to
If you want to get a number zero haircut, you can either do it yourself or go to a professional barber. Here are the steps to do it yourself:
Step 1: Get the right tools
You will need a good quality clipper and a number zero guard. Make sure the clipper is fully charged and oiled before using it.
Step 2: Wash your hair
Wash your hair with shampoo and towel dry it before starting the haircut. Wet hair can clog the clipper and make it difficult to cut.
Step 3: Attach the guard
Attach the number zero guard to the clipper and turn it on.
Step 4: Start cutting
Start cutting your hair from the sides and work your way up to the top of your head. Use short strokes and go against the direction of the hair growth for a closer cut. Be careful around the ears and neckline.
Step 5: Clean up
Once you have finished cutting your hair, use a mirror to check for any uneven spots. Clean up any stray hairs with a small pair of clippers or scissors.
